FOREIGN AFFAIRS.

of 200 French who escorted them.

The Count de Vaux having advanced with the greateft part of his army by Roftino, there poffeffed himself of fome heights, from whence he played his artillery. On this, General Paoli making a feint of retiring, the French came down with great impetuofity, which brought on a moft furious engagement, the illue of which was not at all favourable to the French. General Paoli had even cut off their communication with Baftia and San Fiorenzo, and they were in danger of being forced to furrender. It is added, that in this difagreeable fituation, the Count de Vaux had dispatched a felucca to Bastia to demand fuccour.

The French, who were pofted at Ajaccio, having marched out from thence, advanced as far as Mezzana. But their enterprize, according to the accounts, has turned out very unfuccessfully, they having been beaten and obliged to re-enter Ajaccio.

Thofe at Calbi, who, pursuant to the plan of operations, had fet themselves in motion on the fame day, had met with the like fate.-It is, however, but too true that the French have at last fucceeded in

their attempts against that ifland. Dif-
patches were received on the 10th of June
at Lord Rochford's office, bringing an as-
count, That on the 21ft of May, the French
marched a large body of men against Corte, in
which the Corficans had but a flender garri
fon; who on the appearance of the French
made but a flight defence, and then abandon-
ed the capital, and retired to the mountains.
From the Banks of the Danube, April 25.
We have received advice from Conftan-
tinople, that the Turks, upon the occa-
fion of removing the ftandard of Maho-
met, made a grand proceffion through the
city: all Chriftians upon this occafion were
forbid to appear in the streets, or at their
windows; but the wife and daughter of
the imperial minifter, being excited by cu-
riofity, placed themselves at a fecret win-
dow to obferve the proceffion, which was
no fooner difcovered by the Turks, than
they attacked the ambaffador's house, and
endeavoured to force an entrance; but the
fervants of the minifter oppofing them,
well armed, a dreadful fray enfued, in
which no less than 100 perfons loft their
lives, and the ambassador's lady was very
feverely treated. Some of the rioters
dragged her down into the court-yard, and
made preparations to ftrangle her, when a
party of Janiffaries, who were dispatched
to her affiftance by an Aga in the neigh-
bourhood, happily came and preferved her.
Upon complaint being made of this out-
rage by her husband to the grand vifir,
that minifter expreffed great forrow for
the infult that had been offered, and af-

fured him he fhould have all the reparation it was poffible to procure. A few hours after the vifir fent the imperial minifter a rich present of jewels for his lady, and a bag, which was found to contain the heads of the three principal rioters.

The Capigs, a pretty formidable people in Afia, taking advantage of the prefent fituation of affairs, have just pretended to recollect, that before the erection of the corps of Janiffaries, they formed the bodyguard of the grand feignor, in which quality they now reclaim the ftandard of Mahomet; and to give the more weight to their demand, they have prefented themfelves before the city of Techat, and laid fiege to it. The fultan, to appease them, has already offered them feveral puries; but they infift on the fatisfaction which they lay claim to, fo that nothing but force is likely to fubdue them. A Pacha, who was marching at the head of 40,000 men towards Moldavia, is recalled to ftife this rebellion.-A circumftance favourable to the Ruffians.

ANSWERS to, and SENTIMENTS of, COE

RESPONDENTS.

WE are obliged to the anonymous author

who continues the ftory of Infelic a, though we cannot, out of justice to the writer of the first part, give bis favour a place. The fo writer may perhaps bonour us with a fegusi, and that fequel may poffibly bave a very diferent catastrophe.

The letter to the Benevolent Society from Oxford shall be properly attended to in our next.

The letter to a Clergyman about the gift of a fhilling to an old friend, is improper for publica

tion.

The extracts from Dr. S-'s fermons are na confiderable enough for a place.

A. E. C. fays a general reformation is wanted in the Canons, Articles, Liturgy, Homilies, and Difcipline of the Church, and blames the dignified clergy for their inattention to these important objects.

J. A's letters are too long in themselves, and upon fubje&ts too abfiruse to be generally agreea ble to our readers.

Clericus's well-meant letter on a reformation in the church would be readily inferted, if it was likely to produce any falutary effects-but as we think this utterly improbable, we are obliged to omit it, to make room for matters that may be more entertaining, if not more useful to our readers.

H. C. adwifes the authors of the three lettert on the Afcenfion, in the laft Magazine, to conjul 1 John iii. 2. and not to trouble the pub with letters of their conceiving-and prelom ing-on a subject which they feem to know mos thing of.

Several other correfpondents are received, wbfe favours are under confideration.
